Adding popup options to record formats

[JBenghiat]

Has anyone succeeded in adding popup values to a new field in a record format? If tried using VWRecordFormatObj and TFormat, and while the command appears to succeed, getting the popup values immediately after confirms that the values remain empty.

You could add popup choices in the initialization of your global parameter by supplying some SParametricParamChc:

 

#define k_chc_def_tuerform 128

#define k_chc_def_anzeigeart_komplett 129

 

static SParametricParamChc    gArrChoices[] = {

    { k_chc_def_tuerform,    "Eckig",    {kTuerformChoices, "1"} },

    { k_chc_def_tuerform,    "Rund",    {kTuerformChoices, "2"} },

    //------

    { k_chc_def_anzeigeart_komplett,    k_un_door_choice_anzeigeart_draufsicht,    {kWindowDoorStringViewsComplex, "1"} },

    { k_chc_def_anzeigeart_komplett,    k_un_door_choice_anzeigeart_komplett_hybrid,    {kWindowDoorStringViewsComplex, "2"} },

    { k_chc_def_anzeigeart_komplett,    k_un_door_choice_anzeigeart_ansicht,    {kWindowDoorStringViewsComplex, "3"} },

    { k_chc_def_anzeigeart_komplett,    k_un_door_choice_anzeigeart_schnitt,    {kWindowDoorStringViewsComplex, "4"} },

    

    // TERMINATE

    { NULL, "", {0,0} }

};

static SParametricParamDef gArrParameters[] = {

        { k_un_door_cw_tuerform,    {kTuerLocalizedParameterStrings, garr_names_of_parameters[T9_DB_TUERFORM]},        "Eckig",    "Eckig",    kFieldPopUp,    k_chc_def_tuerform },

        { k_un_door_cw_anzeigeart_komplett,    {kTuerLocalizedParameterStrings, garr_names_of_parameters[T9_DB_ANZEIGEART_KOMPLETT]},        "Draufsicht",    "Draufsicht",    kFieldPopUp,    k_chc_def_anzeigeart_komplett },

        // TERMINATE

        { "", {0,0}, "", "", EFieldStyle(0), 0 }

};

Thanks, though that’s not quite what I need — I have no problem initializing a PIO with choices or managing choices a popup widget. 
I’m looking to build or modify a record format outside of a PIO.
